Ministry of Justice

Lord Avebury: To ask Her Majesty’s Government when the Ministry of Justice last reviewed the provisions of the Registration of Burials Act 1864 under section 149 of the Equality Act 2010.

Lord Faulks: The Ministry of Justice does not exercise any functions under the provisions of the Registration of Burials Act 1864 and has not therefore undertaken such a review. Should the Government amend the Act in the future, however, it would have to take account of the requirements of the Equality Act 2010.

Tickets: Sales

Lord Moynihan: To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with the European Commission to ascertain whether it would be in accordance with the EU Consumer Rights Directive for both primary- and secondary-market ticket sellers to have to provide a unique reference number so that event organisers can track sales of tickets.

Baroness Neville-Rolfe: Her Majesty's Government is satisfied that it has a clear understanding of the constraints on legislation imposed by the Consumer Rights Directive and has not to date sought discussions with the European Commission on this matter.
